A lightweight yet powerful 3D game engine

 Instructions

What's New

_____________________

Version 1.5 - The physics update

  1. Although only bounding box physics are currently supported, it has been implemented in such a way that more complex shapes will soon be supported.
  2. Many performance improvements
  3. Now supports split-screen gameplay as well as quadruple-screen gameplay. Using two or four screens does not noticably change the overall framerate!
  4. Added the ability to merge objects into one, and split them (MERGEOBJ,SPLITOBJ).
  5. Added object bounding box variables (OBJMINX,Y,Z,OBJMAXX,Y,Z).
  6. An object's center is not longer its center of mass, but rather the center of its bounding box.
  7. Added a wireframe cube object (called WCUBE) as well as UPDATEWCUBETOOBJ to set the wireframe position ans size to match another object's bounding box.
  8. Added CHECKCOLLISION to check every object in the world to check for collisions.
  9. Added ISCOLLIDING to check if two objects are intersecting.
  10. Added RAYTHROUGHOBJ to check if an infinite ray is intersecting an object.
  11. Added COLOROBJAB function to color a specific range of triangles in an object.
  12. Added a FLAG object (the main character of 3D Parkour).
  13. Added 3D Parkour 2 Alpha as a demo.
  14. Instead of typing GCLS:BUFFER:RENDER you now just type RENDER to do everything.
  15. GETRAY2D now only takes in X,Z as opposed to X,Y,Z.
  16. Added variables to keep track of an object's scale.
  17. Added OBJSTR$ variables, which work the same as the OBJTAG$ variables.
  18. Added SETSTATICOBJ function to set if an object is affected by physics or not.
  19. Added variables to define the velocity for each object.

Version 1.4

  1. Added TEXT as a new object type! Check the documentation for more details! Game worlds can easily display messages as 3D objects.
  2. CHESS.3D has been worked on, the AI is more intelligent and uses alpha-beta pruning to simulate ahead in the future to find how to maximize the minimum score. In the first few lines you can set the AI_VS_AI to watch it play against itself.
  3. Every demo has been updated to make use of the new features.
  4. Fixed the randomly-appearing-flickering-lines-bug for DLC users.
  5. Fixed triangles-sometimes-not-rendering-glitch for non-DLC users.
  6. Also non-DLC users run at a fairly higher framerate due to less function calls.
  7. Perspective calculations and rendering have been worked on a lot, graphics are much smoother.
  8. Added a new demo to showcase 3D randomized fractal tree generation.
  9. Spheres now render without borders to improve the look of scenes.
  10. Changed the way object tags work, instead of saving TAG$ to every triangle it saves it in the objects themselves. Also triangles no longer carry a second color (the sphere border color). Triangles only carry the most necessary data now.
  11. FPS is more smooth/stabilized.
  12. Added the ability to change the view distance to make programs run faster for o3DS users.
  13. Added function APPLYSURFACEEQUATION to automatically set a SURFACE object to mimic a mathematical equation. This makes the code for the GRAPH_3D demo much simpler and gives users much more power to simulate terrain.
  14. Added lots of new functions!

Version 1.3

  1. Added a fully functional 3D chess game against a real AI that looks a few moves ahead to determine the best way to move.
  2. Added an first person shooter game demo.
  3. Added support for 3D lines using ADDLINE(X1,Y1,Z1,X2,Y2,Z2,COLOR).
  4. Added a surface object, which is a grid plane with multiple sections (used in the 3D grapher).
  5. Fixed a few bugs when deleting an object.
  6. Added some new functions.
  7. BUFFERing only buffers the top screen, use BUFFERBOTTOM to buffer the lower screen.
  8. Other small tweaks and optimizations.

Version 1.2

  1. Framerate has been doubled and possibly tripled, especially for DLC users. The engine runs incredibly fast for users that have purchased the SmileBASIC DLC!
  2. SIM.3D no longer needs any other program slots other than 3. So this update makes it a lot more compact and simple.
  3. Hue, saturation, and value are now optional by using HSV(H,S,V) just like RGB(R,G,B). Objects only need a single color value to be initialized. So #RED, #GREEN, #BLUE, etc... can work too.
  4. Field of view (FOV), world scale constant (WSC), and the cutoff ratio (CUTOFF_RATIO) are modifiable. Cutoff ratio is the ratio between the camera and the object of focus in which polygons will no longer be drawn. Default is 0.5.
  5. Lots of new functions that give more power to the user, such as finding the closest/furthest objects to a point, and making an object rotate to face a given point in the world.
  6. Behind the scenes optimizations for maximum performance.

Version 1.1

  1. DLC is fully implemented! The engine runs much smoother when the Advanced Sound DLC is purchased, the application now only needs to run a few ARYOP operations each frame.
  2. Performance without DLC has also been improved, but DLC gives much higher performance.
  3. Circles have been removed, and re-implemented as triangle objects. Now that there is complete consistency with objects, huge performance advancements have been made.
  4. The flickering graphics bug has been targeted and removed. Graphics feel cleaner with modified algorithms.
  5. Example programs have been modified a little bit. Please feel free to view the code for those, and use them to implement your own games. I do not require any credit. Everything is free for everybody.
  6. Triangles are now sorted by the furthest away Z point.
  7. CIRCLE functions are now called SPHERE functions.
  8. All future updates from this point forward will minimize the modifications required for a game to run on the updated engine. Any modifications required will be listed down here for you.

Version 1.0

  1. Application is stable.
Notes This application was designed specifically to teach the idea of 3D game design. While this engine was built with simplicity in mind, it was also built to maximize efficiency and minimize the computation required to display good looking graphics. With that said this is an excellent engine to make 3D games, I don't ask for any credit, and anyone can use this program for their own purposes. Use the comment section below for help, or if you have any questions, I'll be glad to help! To see the power of SIM.3D, I added some regular demos that will give a better idea on how to use SIM.3D. The files include:
  1. 3D.ENGINE - The engine in all it's glory.
  2. BOX_O_GEMS - A demo to show all the different kinds of objects, and how fast they render.
  3. CHESS.3D - A rather complex program to show what can be made with SIM.3D.
  4. FPS_DEMO - A first-person-shooter-styled simulation, on a Perlin-noise-generated map.
  5. GRAPH_3D - A powerful yet simple 3D equation grapher.
  6. PARKOUR2_ALPHA - The new development of 3D Parkour 2, in alpha state.
  7. SIERPINSKI - Using simple code to generate a Sierpinski pyramid.
  8. SIMPLE_CUBES - A short code demo to show how SIM.3D is used.
  9. SPIRAL_SPHERE - Generate colorful sphere-spirals of spheres.
  10. SPLIT_SCREEN - Example of using splitscreen (with 3D Parkour 2 Alpha)
  11. TREE_OF_WISDOM - Showcasing three dimensional fractal tree generation using simple recursion.
To use this engine, simply add this to the first line of your code PRGEDIT 3 EXEC "PRG3:3D.ENGINE" ENDDoing so will load the 3D engine into program slot 3, then insert the code from program slot 0 into program slot 3, then execute itself. The most basic application to rotate a cube in the center of the screen is as follows: PRGEDIT 3 EXEC "PRG3:3D.ENGINE" END 'S1M.3D VAR C=ADDCUBE(0,0,0,1,1,1,#GRAY) 'C CONTAINS A REFERENCE TO THE CUBE @LOOP VSYNC 'STABALIZE THE FRAMERATE ROTOBJ C,0,1,0 'ROTATE THE CUBE AROUND THE Y AXIS RENDER 'RENDER THE WORLD GOTO @LOOP 'REPEAT There are a few things to be aware of before diving into the 3D engine
  1. One in-world unit is the equivalent of 50 pixels from the default camera position. Adding a scale definition like this makes the game feel more realistic. This can be customized by changing the WSC (world scaling constant) variable.
  2. When working with SIM.3D, you must work in the default program slot 0, you will need to save every time you run the code. Any errors can be traced to your code in program slot 3 where the actual engine is.
  3. Or you could work directly in the 3D engine and avoid the use of the loader. There's a spot in the beginning of the code dedicated for user programs to go.
  4. Every object is composed of triangles. If a triangle is defined clockwise then it will be visible from the outside of the object. There are preset objects to make this easier to work with.
  5. So triangles can only be seen from one side (for higher performance), using STRETCHOBJ with negative values to stretch an object inside-out will let you see the object's back faces instead of front
  6. Every object is given an index. This index will never change until the object is deleted, in which case the ID will be given to the next future object to be defined.

Helper Received for being very helpful around SmileBASIC Source Achievements Amazing Contributor Someone thinks I'm an awesome person who has done so much for the community! Achievements I'm quite impressed at the efficiency of this engine, moreso that you're still working on optimizing it across all devices. There's a couple things I would change though. Object colors should simply be a single color value, the sort you get from RGB() or the color constants like #WHITE. As it is we can't use either for defining object colors, which makes it quite a bit inconvenient and inconsistent with other graphics functions. If you want you should provide a simple HSV() function that converts the input into RGB and returns an appropriate color code. This does provide an additional calling overhead in some situations when adding objects, I suppose, but I can't imagine you'll be adding lots of objects realtime per frame, and this way is simply more flexible. The same should be done for all functions involving colors. A base scale of 50px per unit is a pretty sane and decent default, but would it be sane to allow the user to change it? What about field of view? Why do you need both an object index and an object mask index? Is the normal index more efficient? Having to deal with two index types is just a bit weird. It might be better in terms of UX but worse in terms of performance to only use one, but OBX[OBJMASK[MY_OBJECT_INDEX]] seems a bit concerning either way as I believe array indexing repeatedly is a performance issue. Simeon Simeon Scholar Received for knowing a great deal about programming topics Achievements Amazing Page Hidden Achievements Drawing I like to draw! Hobbies Yes thanks! I'll do that with the coloring, that'll give a big speed up too And I'll have a scale change variable, sure, I just thought 50 was a good constant FOV is already a modifiable variable Now as for the masking, this is the thing I cannot change, user's won't need to deal with the masking thing almost at all since I'm having functions that do everything for them But the reason is, if you create a bunch of variables and give each one an ID to an object, then deleting the first object will offset every other objects ID Masking runs in O(1) time complexity Deleting any of the items in the array runs in O(1) time complexity also, thanks to 12Me21 So it's nothing to worry about performance-wise Minxrod Minxrod Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Expert Programmer Programming no longer gives me any trouble.

New 3DS Does that mean it doesn't work on o3DS? Simeon Simeon Scholar Received for knowing a great deal about programming topics Achievements Amazing Page Hidden Achievements Drawing I like to draw! Hobbies It works regardless, but this version was made on New 3DS, and so it's kindof slow on the o3DS. Why TF do you still own an original 3DS just trade it in for a New 3DS IAmRalsei IAmRalsei Forum Leader Hidden Achievements Second Year My account is over 2 years old Website Expert Programmer Programming no longer gives me any trouble. Come to me for help, if you like! Programming Strength why are you FORCING people to get a new 3DS? they should be able to decide for themselves whether or not they get one (originally the title said what's wrong with you? but bold and italic doesn't work in spoiler titles) well i mean there's people who turn old 3ds-es into new ones SwanBot SwanBot Halloween 2017 Contest Runner Up I placed 2nd in the SmileBASIC Source Halloween 2017 Contest!

Programming Strength First Year My account is over 1 year old Website Well because unlike many others getting a new3ds costs too much (even with trade in).

Helper Received for being very helpful around SmileBASIC Source Achievements Amazing Contributor Someone thinks I'm an awesome person who has done so much for the community! Achievements New 2DS is a good upgrade option too if you're willing to give up 3D. Pros: vastly superior case design (YMMV), card slot hatch, about $50 cheaper MSRP Cons: weird speaker placement, weird stylus, no 3D (obviously), camera placement is different (but not bad) Went with this instead of a new 3DS and I don't regret it. Always research before you buy though. SwanBot SwanBot Halloween 2017 Contest Runner Up I placed 2nd in the SmileBASIC Source Halloween 2017 Contest! Programming Contest Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength First Year My account is over 1 year old Website Yeah but still same thing, I don't have the money to buy it even if it is cheaper (and if i were going to spend the money i think i would indeed just get new3ds instead of two as i personally like the look and weight a lot more) Especially after holding a new2ds and a new3ds i can say the new3ds felt much better to hold for me. Buuuut otherwise i would be happy either way, just that if your going to spend the already $150 you might s well just make it $200 and get the 3d/stuff. snail_ snail_ Power User QSP Contest 1 Contest Participant I participated in the first SmileBASIC Source QSP Contest!

Website Intermediate Programmer I can make programs, but I still have trouble here and there. Programming Strength I like the new 2ds too. It made a fine replacement for my old 3ds but I miss the small size and color. Also I'm sure Simeon wasn't forcing anyone to use a new model. He was suggesting/recommending it.

Programming Strength Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Reading I like to read books! Hobbies Awesome work so far! What got me really excited was the prospect that this will be a tutorial on building your own 3D graphics engine. I've searched online and experimented with only minimal success. Seeing as how everything programming that I learned came from SmileBASIC and trickled down, that kind of tutorial may have great implications on me. Simeon Simeon Scholar Received for knowing a great deal about programming topics Achievements Amazing Page Hidden Achievements Drawing I like to draw! Hobbies Thanks! Yes I'll be sure to put a lot of effort into the tutorial. Would you like an interactive SmileBASIC app tutorial? Or a the tutorial on this site? Walkthrough styled, like directions?

Programming Strength Third Year My account is over 3 years old Website Reading I like to read books! Hobbies I'd agree that a combination of the two would probably suit most parties. With me, the math behind it all (and the ideas linked to the math, like the virtual screen thing or the field of view or converting 3d world coordinates to screen coordinates given all factors) is the thing that stumps me most. If you're good at breaking things down to layman terms, I'm sure you'd achieve the best of both worlds anyway.

I'll keep that in mind, it might take a bit to finish the tutorial 1 2 3
